This is not something I have come up with but I saw it in a magazine. I have been collecting those christmas ties that all kids get their dad's and the dad's never wear them. When you get enough of them you can make a great christmas wreath to display on your door or home. It takes about 32 tires. I find them at garage sales, thrift stores. I need only 2 more and I can make my wreath.

We are SOOOO much into Halloween we use them when we can to make our costumes. I was Morticia Adams and used 10 dark colored (didn't mattered if plain or patterned) ones, loosely stuffed with batting and sewed them on my "Elvira" costume. It was awesome and the neighborhood kids loved it when I opened the door!! We also used them on our Lovable Dogs as collars too! The egg idea sounds like something I want to try. Thanks Linda!
